RedTacton - Human Area Network Technology<br />
2.4 FUNCTIONAL FEATURES<br />
1. A communic<strong>at</strong>ions p<strong>at</strong>h can be cre<strong>at</strong>ed with a simple touch, autom<strong>at</strong>ically<br />
initi<strong>at</strong>ing the flow of d<strong>at</strong>a between a body-centric electronic device and a<br />
computer th<strong>at</strong> is embedded in the environment. For example, two people<br />
equipped with RedTacton devices could exchange d<strong>at</strong>a just by shaking hands.<br />
A wide range of n<strong>at</strong>ural human actions grasping, sitting down, walking, or<br />
standing in a particular place can be used to trigger RedTacton to start a<br />
networked process.<br />
2. Using a RedTacton electro-optic sensor, two-way communic<strong>at</strong>ion is supported<br />
between any two points on the body <strong>at</strong> a throughput of up to 10 Mbps.<br />
Communic<strong>at</strong>ion is not just confined to the surface of the body, but can travel<br />
through the user's clothing to a RedTacton device in a pocket or through shoes<br />
to communic<strong>at</strong>e with a RedTacton device embedded in the floor. Unlike<br />
wireless technologies, the transmission speed does not deterior<strong>at</strong>e even in the<br />
presence of large crowds of people all communic<strong>at</strong>ing <strong>at</strong> the same time in<br />
meeting rooms, auditoriums or stores. Because the body surface is the<br />
transmission p<strong>at</strong>h, increasing the number of connected users directly increases<br />
the available number of individual channels.<br />
